Contemporary Issues in Technology and Social Studies Teacher Education

Contemporary Issues in Technology and Social Studies Teacher Education is sponsored
by the College and University Faculty Assembly (CUFA) of the National
Council for the Social Studies. The purpose of this journal is to
provide a forum for reporting on research relating to social studies
content, teacher education, and technology. Although research reports
and theoretical articles which address social studies technologies in
teacher education are the main focus of the CITE Journal, we are also
interested in publishing scholarly research on social studies teacher
education that makes creative use of technology in the presentation of
the article on the Web. Because the journal provides a unique
opportunity for dialogue, we encourage commentary on existing articles.
These commentaries will be refereed and are presented along side the
original in later editions.
